Entry #25 - Ralph Miller Camp

Oregon State isn't usually one of those schools you think about when talking about legendary basketball coaches, but Ralph Miller was indeed one of the greatest.

Entry #24 - Visible Air Flightposites

It was the summer of '06, and my brother and I decided to hop on a plane with no hotel, no plan, but a destination-The Las Vegas Niketown.

We were expecting to witness the finest collection of Nikes outside of Beaverton, and we were not disappointed. Kind of a Woodstock moment for the shoeheads.

Here's what I wore: Air Flightposite samples with visible air soles.

Entry #23 - Air Jordan Flight Jacket

This is the Flight jacket that came out when the IV released.  Coolest part of these is that they were serially numbered!

This particular jacket is a pretty tough to find white/black version, and the serial # is all zeros.  Maybe this colorway wasn't released to the general public? I do know this one other guy that owns one...

Entry #22 - 1996 Ducks Curtis Moore

College football is just about upon us once again. And when you think college football and Nike, Oregon always comes up right? This year is no exception, and Marc Ecko has provided an excellent summary of Ducks unihistory since Nike began outfitting the Ducks.

Today, let's take a look back to those classic jerseys of '96. This is Curtis Moore's jersey, who was an inside linebacker for the Ducks 1994-1997. The Complex article describes these jerseys as "Simplicty is nice", which I can agree with. There was a subtle decoration on this jersey that is rarely discussed: it had the old UO logo stamped into the shoulder, barely visible, but you'll see it below.

Entry #21 - Jordan Baseball

Ahhh, 1994. Remember those good ol days when OJ was running around in a white Bronco, Michael Jackson was getting married to Lisa Marie Presley, and Michael Jordan was playin baseball?

Entry #20 - Foamposite Zero

These are in my shoe archive (it's the product of me playing around with graphics programs, learning how to use them). Before the Original Foamposite One became Penny's shoe, it wasn't exactly Penny's shoe. You'll see in this early sample below that it's just Nike logos, no Penny cent to be found. And check out that cool NIKE stamp in the foamposite material.

Entry #19 - $50 To Meet Jack Avina

Dwight Jaynes writes that he was a cool coach, but I dunno, $50 does seem like quite a bit.
